At dRAW Architecture, we know that construction can feel overwhelming. Multiple contractors, endless site queries, shifting timelines, it’s a lot to manage on your own. That’s why our construction project management services in London are designed to take the stress off your shoulders. Acting as your dedicated contract administrator and project leader, we make sure every decision, milestone, and site activity aligns with your vision. With us by your side, you gain the confidence that your project will run smoothly, transparently, and successfully from start to finish.
What Does Construction Project Management Mean?
Construction Project Management is not just about checking on-site work, it’s about acting as the client’s representative and ensuring that the project is delivered exactly as promised. At dRAW, we combine technical knowledge, negotiation skills, and strong communication to protect your investment and streamline your build.
Key responsibilities include:
- Contract Administration – managing the agreement between you and your contractor, tracking payments, and ensuring deliverables are met.
- Regular Site Visits – usually every two weeks, we visit your site to inspect progress, chair meetings, and keep communication open between you and your builder.
- Remote Project Oversight – even when not on site, we handle day-to-day queries, review updates, and resolve issues quickly to avoid delays.
- Issue Resolution – we step in when challenges arise, preventing disputes and keeping the project moving.
Why Choose dRAW Architecture for Project Management?

- Reduced Stress, More Control – While we handle the complexity, you remain in control of key decisions without the burden of micro-managing.
Our Project Management Process
1. Kick-Off & Contractor Onboarding
We begin by reviewing the contractor’s programme, contracts, and scope of works. This ensures everyone starts on the same page with clear expectations.
2. Site Monitoring & Meetings
We schedule regular site meetings, often fortnightly, where we inspect progress, address queries, and ensure compliance with design drawings and specifications. Minutes and updates are shared with you so you’re always informed.
3. Remote Oversight & Issue Handling
Most queries don’t wait for the next meeting. We provide responsive, remote management—answering questions, issuing clarifications, and approving changes swiftly to avoid costly delays.
4. Progress Tracking & Risk Management
We track budgets, payments, and timelines, identifying risks early and taking action before they escalate into major problems.
5. Completion & Handover Coordination
We prepare snagging lists, coordinate final inspections, and ensure contractors deliver a finished building that meets both design and contract standards.
Real Example of Our Project Management in Action
In a large residential extension in Wandsworth, unforeseen site conditions threatened to derail the programme. By stepping in early, coordinating structural advice, and renegotiating timelines with the contractor, we resolved the issue without escalating costs. The client was shielded from stress while the project continued smoothly—demonstrating how our leadership creates real value.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often will you visit my site?
Typically every two weeks, though we can increase visits if a project needs closer supervision.
Do you manage disagreements with contractors?
Yes, we act as a neutral but client-focused administrator, resolving disputes professionally before they escalate.
Can you manage remotely if I’m away?
Absolutely. Many of our clients are busy or abroad during their projects, we handle communication and keep you updated.
Why is project management different from construction oversight?
Construction focuses on build quality and workmanship. Project management, however, ensures the entire process, including contracts, payments, timelines, and communication, is delivered seamlessly.
